blanda40018 blanda40021
Blanda Beat 4 is the newest beat on the Blanda to be under Lax-a management , and the last one as now all Blanda is ours. Blanda Beat for have never been on the market before as it have been leased for number of years to a small local Angling Club up north.

It is actually not the Blanda river , it is a small tributary of the Blanda river about 40km from the sea. Blanda Beat 4 is for sure the best kept salmon secret in Iceland , beautyful little river gin clear and you can see the salmon in most places.

How to descripe it ..... I would say .. like the Austura on Midfjardara, Upper Kjarra , Upper nordura , small sensetive ... floating line riffling hitch , thin leader. Total of 3 rods fish the beat.

There is plenty of Brownies and Arctic charr on the upper parts on beat 4. Prime time is July until mid August.

Great place for taking the whole beat with friends for a week. Riffling hitch paradize.

You can drive to all the pools at the lower part , for the upper part it is only walking.

The self catering lodge is called Eiðsstaðir and is located just on the river bank. The lodge is very nice with 4 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, dining room and sitting room.

Best flies:

Beat 4 in Blanda is an entirely different river from the other beats. This is a small, clear single hand river. Use small flies, hitch tubes and floating lines on this beat, the best flies are:

Black & Blue (sizes 12 - 18)
Black Frances (sizes 12 - 18)
Red Frances (sizes 12 - 18)
Collie Dog (¼ - ½ inch)
Silver Sheep (sizes 12 - 18)
Hitch tubes in various sizes

In late august the river gets colder and one should add larger and heavier flies/tubes to this selection (even bring a sink tip for especially cold mornings):

SunRay Shadow (1 – 2 inches, with and without a cone)
Pool Fly
Red Frances (½ - 1 inch, with cone)
Black Frances (½ - 1 inch, with cone)
